It’s hard to watch oil prices without also being aware of natural gas. Someone recently said the price of natural gas today is the equivalent of $22 a barrel oil… or that’s 1/4th the actual price… and, best, the price of natural gas isn’t influenced by currency, gold, emotion, stock market, etc…

… just good old fashion supply and demand…

… and in that regard, we have supply in spades.

We import almost 2/3rds of our oil — read that, we send almost a trillion dollars to the middle east every freakin’ year.

And, 2/3rds of all oil we use is for transportation.

Like T. Boone, I’m stupefied that I even have to ask the question:

Why the hell aren’t we buying natural gas mobiles…

… so we can stop our dangerous dependency/obsession on middle east oil once and for all…

… so we can keep an extra trillion bucks in our country and not let it accidentally fall into the hands of terrorists…
